Why this spot
1863-1905 stage stop and placer gold boomtown
Began as Antelope Station, a stage stop that boomed after the 1863 Rich Hill gold strike to about 3,500 people by 1868; Charles Stanton took control in the 1870s through violence. The gold ran out and the post office closed in 1905.View source →
